The overall length of the simple charging harness 300 is set to a length corresponding to the implanted medical equipment at the subcutaneous position of the chest, and the overall length is 600 mm-1200 mm. In a preferred embodiment, the overall length of the simple charging harness 300 is about 849 mm.
Although the implantation position of the implantable medical device is a subcutaneous chest position in the present embodiment, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solution related to the present invention is not limited thereto, and the simple charging harness of the present invention can also be applied to implantable medical devices at any position under the abdomen and waist when the patient is in a stable sitting posture.
In a preferred embodiment, the simple charging harness 300 has a cover 10a around the periphery thereof for reinforcing the simple charging harness.
As shown in fig. 9, the simple charging harness coil pocket is placed at the chest position in the use state, and is basically in a state where the opening is upward, the arc-shaped side is downward, and the single-layer mesh fabric faces the human body. Such that the charging coil 202 outside the body can be easily inserted into the coil pocket. As shown in fig. 10, the host pocket in the use state is substantially in a state where the opening is upward and the arc edge is downward, so that the charger host 201 is inserted into the host pocket. The cable 203 between the charger main unit 201 and the charging coil 202 is typically placed along the connection band when in use. Also optionally, at least a portion of the cable 203 may be threaded from within the connection strap to provide for proper securement of the cable 203. In a preferred embodiment, the charging simple strap 300 is provided with a cable fixing member attached to the connection belt 3 and used for fixing a redundant cable with a fixed length, such as a velcro.
In a preferred embodiment, the connecting strip 3 is further provided with a harness pad 5, as shown in figures 6-8. The back strap pad 5 is composed of breathable cotton cloth 11b, is soft and comfortable, and is connected with the front side and the back side through wrapping edges 10 b. As shown in fig. 11 to 12, the back strap pad 5 is detachable and covered on the connection strap 3 by nylon fasteners 12a and 12 b. The inner side of the back belt cushion 5 is provided with an anti-skid area 6d with the friction coefficient of the cotton cloth being more than 0.2. The strap pad 5 is a U-shaped pad after being wrapped and is placed on the neck of the patient to increase the comfort when the patient wears the strap for charging. In addition, the harness pad 5 may be wrapped along with the redundant cable 203 to reduce the inconvenience of the redundant cable.
The simple charging harness 300 can arrange the external charging coil 202 of the implantable medical device on the left or right chest of the patient without being held by hand. When the simple charging harness 300 is worn and used, the coil fixing part 1 with the charging coil 202 is placed at a position corresponding to the patient-implanted medical device 100, and the main unit fixing part 2 with the charger main unit 201 is placed on the other side of the body around the neck via the connecting band 3. The chest of the person has an angle of inclination to the vertical that helps the coil pocket containing the coil 202 fit in position to align with the patient stimulator 100 in both normal sitting and standing positions. Since the strap 300 has a certain friction force with the clothes due to gravity, the friction force between the strap 300 and the clothes can be increased by the anti-slip region 6a provided in the connecting belt 3. In addition, because the weight of the charging coil 202 is close to that of the charger main unit 201, the weight of the two ends of the strap and the static friction force borne by the strap can reach a certain balance, and the coil 202 can be stabilized at a required height position. Likewise, in the case of using the back-strap pad 5, the anti-slip region 6c on the connection band 3 interacts with the back-strap pad 5 to prevent displacement between the back-strap pad 5 and the connection band 3; the anti-slip region 6d on the harness pad 5 interacts with clothing or skin to prevent displacement between the harness 300 and the patient. Furthermore, the anti-slip regions 6a and 6b disposed on the transition zone 4a and the transition zone 4b can prevent the position of the coil 202 from being relatively displaced after the patient slightly adjusts the posture, thereby facilitating the patient to slightly adjust the posture and relieving fatigue.
As shown in fig. 13, in a modified embodiment, the simple harness for charging may be used by being worn on the left shoulder or the right shoulder.
